  • SCAM

    What happened to your Substack? Another scam money grab by Benza and that weird creeper “producer” Mike. I can’t believe the Karen’s in his group fell for it again. SUCKAS!

  • Stop The Fight

    I didn’t think it possible. Benza, the clueless self obsessed alcoholic embarrassment, who has coughed, snorted and whistled through rotting teeth about his mediocre wannabe past of 30+ years ago, setting surreal all time lows, has somehow limboed even lower. The circle jerk “Hair Parts” gives new meaning to “rock bottom” and will actually make you miss the gypsy Charo character mangle the English language. Agovino and Alfred are the Ruth and Gehrig of BORE. If this Benza embarrassment was d... more

    I didn’t think it possible. Benza, a clueless embarrassment, who has coughed, snorted and whistled through rotting teeth about his mediocre wannabe past of 30+ years ago, setting surreal self obsessed all time lows, has somehow sank even further. “Hair Parts” is a new low, this circle jerk of the bottom of the bowl will make you miss the gypsy Charo mangle the English language. Ago and Alfred are the Ruth and Gehrig of BORE. If this Benza embarrassment was designed to drive people off balconi... more

  • My Kingdom for a Loaf

    Great show if you enjoy listening to someone spiral out of control. Benza has become so toxic that his gypsy fortune teller friend has left the show and fled back to Ukraine. While his poor sister has to tend to an ailing husband and cook 3 meals a day for the Benz, all he can do is bemoan the lack of crisp Italian bread for his tuna sandwich. I thought he was on a diet!
